I think it's not so much a problem of believing Governments but believing the press. The Government were far too quick to jump on the bandwagon and ignore sensible advice from experts.
Hopefully the new Government don't make the same mistake and are prepared to make 'media unfriendly' decisions based on sound medical advice.

Some of it appears so. The M Cat policy was based on a Media outcry rather than sound medical advice. It's not the first time it's happened.

Thats exactly how this was banned, seven people resigned from the governments 'Advisory Council' because they were basically being told by the government just to say 'yeah it's bad stuff' so the ban could go through quickly.
